Oops, more detail

Went back to my note and duh, there was more context in the last reference. Maybe should go to bed:

Remainder was completed.
Subject: Remainder was completed.

You are absolutely right. The word, "remainder" is the subject ("of the forms is just a prepositional phrase"), and the verb/adverb should always go with the subject, not its modifier(s).
PROMPT CHART??

Can find the abbreviation ANL everywhere on Occupational Therapy sites and they go into great detail
Subject: Can find the abbreviation ANL everywhere on Occupational Therapy sites and they go into great detail about what it entails, but nothing states exactly what the abbreviation stands for... see below

from www.activehomerehab.com

Functional Retraining Programs: Based on functional problems identified in the in-home ANL assessment, the occupational therapist will teach the client and their caregivers, strategies to increase independence with functional tasks such as dressing, bathing and meal preparation. Homemaking retraining programs may also be warranted in which education and training are provided regarding pacing, work simplification, proper body mechanics and use of assistive devices (if necessary), to facilitate return to pre-accident homemaking activities

48-hour pH test completed and extensive *physiatry* to view the findings which demonstrated
Subject: 48-hour pH test completed and extensive *physiatry* to view the findings which demonstrated

She states that she is unable to eat, continues to lose weight, and is having bouts of vomiting.  She did have her 48-hour pH test completed and extensive *physiatry* to view the findings which demonstrated that on the first night when she had vomited after her procedure, there were some episodes of breakthrough acid; however, the following day when she was tolerating a diet and had her AcipHex, her pH was well controlled, above a pH of 4, essentially the entire time.  Therefore, I discussed with the patient that her chest burning does not appear to be correlated with breakthrough acid of any significant degree and suggests the possibility that a lot of her chest pain and burning may be related to her anxiety and depression.

Okay, I'm transcribing a SOAP note and this word that I'm trying to figure out is under the ASSESSMENT AND PLAN part. She says the word three times and I am now thinking she is saying something like "number next or number next is." What do you think?


(Normonaxis) Anemia may be caused from a recent epistaxis. He will start an iron pill daily over the counter called Fergon. Next visit we will check a hemoglobin, iron studies. (Normonax) He was in for right shoulder pain in the past. This was resolved. (Normonax) Recent qualm was treated with doxycycline.


Also, I was told to transcribe this using a straight SOAP format, but the doctor dictates things like "Review of Systems" and "Exam." I didn't think those headings or subheadings were in a SOAP format. She never dictates "Subjective" or "Objective," only "Assessment And Plan" as one heading towards the end of the report. Any advice?
